Alright, thanks. At least the weather seems to be cooperating for that method.

Hey guys, I'm just about ready to basecoat my FC Uruk crossbowmen but I have a bot of a problem. I remember doing my few FC Goblins, basecoating the material was different and frankly a little difficult. Getting into the recesses seemed like more of a pain with the resin-like material and it just wasn't as smooth or easy as doing a plastic or metal mini. Is there a certain technique that works best? Should I really be spraying FC or using heavily diluted paints? |

I always spray my FC with black primer. then use slightly thinned black paint to go over any parts missed. |

Finecast also always tends to be riddled with oil and grime from the mould-casting process, or at least mine always have been, I've even had to scrape dirt off with a scalpel before it was so sense. It's wise to give them a thorough but gentle wash in warm soapy water before applying any sort of paint, especially basecoats. I find that I can combine this wash with an opportunity to straighten spears and poles too, which were bent during the casting/storage process. |

Not too warm though! Brush on black has worked fine for me so far, but I tend to spray prime now, haven't tried it on fc. |

Indeed, washing the mini carefully with soap and water is a good idea. Just be careful, since its very brittle. |
